Tag Archives: Top Gun

Top Gun is arguably one of the best alpha male movies of all time! Filmed in 1986, it starred Tom Cruise when he was in his prime, and featured a young and upcoming Val Kilmer. The movie was made prior to the fall of the Soviet Union, so it still maintains the cold war feel. One of the best scenes is when Tom Cruise flips the “bird” to the Soviet MIG pilot.

“You Can Be My Wingman Anytime”

Overall, Top Gun is a timeless movie and still gets constant viewing by college kids today. The one liners in the movie have forever been embedded in the US alpha male vernacular.
